Never had a problem with my Thinkpad or my System76 laptop. If something has Windows support directly it's not surprising that it it would run better than something done in the spare time of developers. I've never had terrible luck with any linux on laptops though, aside from the Macbook. What kinds of problems did you run into and on what types of laptops?

Two think pads. They just didn't even come close to the battery life that Windows did. And I'm a very advanced used, been using Arch Linux since 2008, and have every part of my system tweaked. It just seemed like the hardware support and drivers weren't there. Specifically the T440s. I forget what model it was before that one. I'd also get suspend issues on both. I dumped a lot of time into it.
